Ugh yeah. I have friends that just bought a newly built McMansion.
It was raining when they looked at it and noticed there was water leaking in the foyer. The builder said "that will be fixed before moving in".
There was also a small pond in the garage due to the roof leaking, builder said "that will be fixed before moving in".
None of the windows has blinds, builder said "that will be fixed before moving in".
The new A/C wasn't working (they live in Texas), builder said "that will be fixed before moving in".
There was NO DRIVEWAY to the garage (it was a model home), builder said "that will be fixed before moving in."
This was one of the times I couldn't hold my opinion back and I strongly advised them to keep looking because if it was having problems now then what else hasn't been uncovered? New does not equal better.
My friends still bought the home.
Since moving in in June, they have had 3 roof leaks, in different parts of the house. The house is completely wired and wifi, but there has been problems controlling the outdoor lights from the main switch, they had to call an A/C repair person, and they were shocked at the energy bill because they were told this was an energy efficient house. It probably is, but when you have 3000 sqft, cathedral ceilings, still no blinds and open concept everything, in the middle of a Texas summer, it is going to cost money to cool it.
